Am using an Axe-Fx II XL+. At home in the studio, output 1 balanced goes to a small mixer, then a digital power amp to studio monitors, and is dead quiet.
In church, the balanced out from Out 1 goes to the direct in (XLR) of the PA system (new high-end system, sound guys still getting the bugs out), and there is a horrendous high frequency hiss through the monitors & PA, which has been driving me (and the sound guy) crazy trying to resolve. It's definitely coming from my gear, and stops when I disconnect from the PA
The hum is present whether there is input (bass, front instrument in) or not, instrument jack in or no. Present with different XLR cables. It is not dependent on the output 1 volume. The ground lift reduces it but does not eliminate it. Power to the Fx is filtered with a Furman conditioner; bypassing the Furman makes no difference.
The sound guy usually gets frustrated quickly and demands I go thru a DI box, which is quiet, but obviously defeats the purpose of having the Axe live, losing all my nice effects, amp sims, etc
Any thoughts on what's going on here, and how to figure out/resolve it?
Thx
